There could be other version checks, but this was fixed for HotSpot in
hs22 and 7u2

Bug ID: 7072341 "enable hotspot builds on Linux 3.0"
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7072341

Also in icedtea:

I see the fix also made it into the build-infra/jdk8 tree:

cat -n build-infra/jdk8/hotspot/make/linux/Makefile
             [...]
   234  SUPPORTED_OS_VERSION = 2.4% 2.5% 2.6% 3%

Hope this helps-
